Section 11 AFA addresses which misconduct?

• A. Disobedience to lawful command
• B. Misconduct towards a superior officer
• C. Unfitness or misconduct through alcohol or drugs
• D. Contravention of standing orders

Answer: (B)

Section 11 of the Armed Forces Act is about misconduct toward a superior officer. It covers acts of insubordination, disrespect, or improper behavior directed at someone in command, which undermines the authority of a supervisor and the overall discipline of the unit. This protects the chain of command, differentiating it from other offences such as disobedience to a lawful command (failing to follow orders), unfitness or misconduct through alcohol or drugs (related to impairment), or contravention of standing orders (breaches of established rules). In practice, this section would apply to conduct showing disrespect or disobedience to a superior officer during duty.
